Emily’s Advice: Follow your interests! If something sounds interesting to you just dive into it. Pre-health paths look different for everyone and there’s no one right way to do it. As your interests develop throughout college follow them and see where they’ll go. With that said be intentional about what you’re involved in. Get to know yourself throughout college and think about your “why” for what you do.
